British
scientist
Isaac
Newton
(1643-
1727)
once
said,
“If
I
have
seen
further,
it
is
by
standing
upon
the
shoulders
of
giants.”
And
this
year’s
Nobel Prize
in
chemis
try
may
have
best 21)___________ these words.
This
year’s
prize
was
22)___________
between
three
scientists
–
Frenchman
Jean- Pierre
Sauvage, British-born Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were
awarded the prize for creati
ng the world’s smallest machines.
How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts like 23)_________ machines, they are
made of molecules. Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers
––
one billionth of a meter
––
much thinner than a human hair.
But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.
Back
in
1983,
Sauvage,
who
is
now
a
retired
professor
at
the
University
of
Strasbourg,
France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to
form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like
“building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.
If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10
years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern
University, US, developed a(n) 26)_________
known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring
of atoms could move around an axle.
And
just
like
a
car,
the
molecular
machine
needs
a(n)
27)________
to
run.
So
in
1999,
Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create
a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.
But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it?
According to scientists,
the
machines
can
benefit
various
fields
like
the
creation
of
new
materials
and
medical
treatment methods.
“There
are
29)___________
opportunities,”
Feringa
told
Reuters.
“Think
of
a
tiny
micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a
cancer cell or 30)__________
a drug, for instance.”
